Looks like a nice find but I wouldn’t take that “solid transom” to the bank. I haven’t seen many V’s that have been sitting to have a solid anything. Last center console I bought seemed solid. All my weight on the motor and no flex, I got talked into cutting into it because it didn’t pass the tap test and sure enough it was moist as fog. It probably woulda lasted another summer but was soon to rot and it was all because of flawed glassing from the factory. Seems to be the norm with these boats. But if the motor is at all salvageable it don’t seem like a bad deal. Could be a fun project.
